“Book Descriptions: "Reminiscent of David Kronenberg, Kafka, and H.G. Wells... [Fauna] depicts the hypnotic Darwinian nightmare our negligence and denial will lead us to in the coming years." - Le Devoir
A thick fog rolls in over Shivering Heights. The river overflows, the sky is streaked with toxic green, parasites proliferate in torrential rains and once safely classified species - humans included - are evolving and behaving in unprecedented ways. Against this poetically hostile backdrop, a biologist, Laura, fights to understand the nature and scope of the changes transforming her own body and the world around her.
Ten lush and bracing linked climate fictions depict a world gorgeous and terrifying in its likeness to our own.
Fauna, Christiane Vadnais's first work of fiction, won the Horizons Imaginaires speculative fiction award, the City of Quebec book award, and was named one of 2018's best books by Radio-Canada.
"A spirited vision of the end times that reminds us that a new one will be born out of the old, as savage and alive as the previous one's primitive beginnings." - La Presse
"Vadnais's language is precise, rich in imagery, unsettling. The quality of the writing makes for a raw, searing read." - L'Express” DRIVE
